Join us fourth Wednesday August 26th for more of your favorite open source geo-goodness. Tonight’s special guest is EJ Fox: a designer, developer, and journalist who most recently collaborated with Colin Miller to bring Subway Builder to Steam.
EJ’s talk is titled “Gamifying GIS: From OpenStreetMap to Steam”, and the talk will share the technical and creative process of turning OpenStreetMap data, routing algorithms, and maplibre styles into gameplay. We’ll explore data sonification, interface design for spatial data, shipping with Electron, and lessons from supporting an active modding community.
As always there will be pizza, and BYOB is available from across the hall at HotLips!
